Well, there are a couple SORT of in-between options....

A~ crowd and FMB both think it's great
B~ crowd loves it because it's a hip-hop show and FMB thinks it's crap
C~ FMB likes it and has fun with it but the crowd rolls its collective eyes
D~ everyone hates it and tries to pretend it never happens.

Ya mean like the "legendary" Gospel show of 1999?

I think it will be somewhere in between A and B. I know I will think it is crap just because I despise hip-hop, (Don't try to convince me. My mind can not be changed. I will never like hip-hop/rap, and I am not trying to spark an argument over it.) but there will be some in the FMB who do like hip-hop, so they will love the show. I'm sure there will be some others like me in the FMB who won't like it, but (and I hate to say this) I would almost bet that more people will love it than hate it, so the show should be a "successful" one by those standards.

Basically, I am saying the crowd will like it, and the majority of the FMB will like it, but not the entire FMB, so that is why I say somewhere in between A and B.

I will personally despise the show, but it should be "successful."

I'm sure you're right. There is a difference, though, between FMB members liking it because it's hip-hop, and liking it because they know it's a challenging and well-performed show. The crowd, more often than not, can't really tell the difference.

I just hope that those members of the band that dislike hip-hop/rap realize that they must still perform the show to the best of their ability, reguardless of the content....that seems to be a problem these days.

That's exactly what I was thinking. And that attitude is what will determine whether the FMB will be stellar or just okay. The crowd will enjoy the show if we put our effort and energy into it, regardless of their own musical preferences.

I didn't like the Chicago show of 1988 but I still did it as best as I could. There were a couple shows I didn't like but it was still fun to be a part of the band. I just don't listen to those tapes now.

I didn't like the show, but you have to admit the music was awesome.

My least favorite shows were the poppy shows. They just didn't go anywhere. My favorite shows were John Williams, the religious show (first night game in BG history), and any show which had Jay Jackson say to the Tubas, "Maggots, you gotta just walk the dog with that part."

Nope... didn't like the music. Chicago isn't one of my favorites. John Williams show was the best! I liked the white trash show, too...

Hey I have an idea. Let's decide if we're going to like the show or not after the music comes out and we give it a read-through. Or two.

I hated some of the best music I've ever played at first... And granted, hip hop may not be good music to some people but let's see how it is put together before we decide if we'll love it or hate it.
